Smith's world is one in which people continually search for emotional connections--only to lose or break them and then live with the regret..." - Rating: BCMJ (1/11/99, p.3) - "...His major label debut, XO, ably shattered all expectations, displaying a level of melodic beauty and stark sophistication..."24.95174
